Konica Minolta DiMAGE X1 review

I could not wait to get this camera and at first I loved it's size and its workings. The camera is ruined by the fact that none of the connections are standard.

Problems:

I'm on my second camera and this one also has connections problems. This camera uses non standard connections and you are forced to carry all the cables to use this camera. Why they didn't use standard USB is just unbelievable. How nice it would be to charge with a USB in my car or connect to a computer by USB instead of using the cradle. With all the R&D that goes into this I just don't get it. What if you loose the USB-cradle-cord you can't replace it and you probably have to purchase a new camera to get one. I love this camera but I'll have to find a different one, sadly...
